Jerry, I would suggest it might be a misreading for Mycielin, kreis Schubin. The two place names could look similar if handwritten. It was just north of Scharadowo/Szaradowo. Population 30 in the 1820s, so a pretty small place. I first found it on kartenmeister, http://www.kartenmeister.com which is a good place to look for places that were once in Germany.

Paul, Thanks for your suggestion that Myrithin may be Mycielin. I considered the fact that Myrithin may actually be Mycielin but the document at Ancestry.com is typed and very distinct.. I wonder if Myrithin is an older German name for Mycielin? Some LDS Family History Libraries are offering free access to the world (complete) records at Ancestry.com through their FHC portal. I found the record naming Myrithin under the German Casualties in the Franco-Prussian War 1870-1871 when searching for Franz Dominski. Jerry Dominski
